Can a 13 year old watch a PG13 movie?

Answer 1

PG movies are generally non-violent, and don't have many mature themes. An eleven year-old should be able to watch a PG rated film without adults, yes.

PG and PG-13 stand for "parental guidance suggested," and "parental guidance strongly suggested," Not "parental guidance mandatory."

The only age restrictions are for R and NC-17 films. A child can see a G, PG, or PG-13 movie alone at whatever age their parents feel comfortable with.

Answer 2

It should be up to you. If your child seems he/she is becoming more mature then you should let them see PG-13 movies and if they want to see a rated r movie you should look further into the movie and maybe even watch it. If there is content that you do not like then maybe skip that part if they're watching it or suggest another movie to them which is a little more to there limit. It's up to you if you want your kids knowing and seeing that content.

Answer 3

Yes. There are no age restrictions for G, PG and PG-13 movies. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a parent to see a PG-13 movie if you're under 13. PG-13 means parental guidance is suggested for kids under 13. That's "suggested," not "mandatory."

The only age restrictions are for R and NC-17 movies.

The Motion Picture Association of America defines the rating as:

PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.

Answer 4

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be 13 to see a PG-13 movie (with or without a parent). There are no age restrictions for G, PG and PG-13 movies. The only age restrictions are for R and NC-17 movies.

The PG rating means "parental guidance suggested," and PG-13 means, "parents strongly cautioned." In other words, the PG-13 rating is a warning that the movie may contain material that you wouldn't want your pre-teen kids to see. It doesn't mean that children under 13 won't be admitted into the theater; it's just a warning to the parents.

Answer 5

That would be up to the 10 year old's parents. A PG13 movie has a rating to help parents decide what is appropriate for their kids, but parents can choose whether or not to follow the guideline.

Answer 6

Of course 13 year olds can watch PG13 movies! That's why it's called PG13!

Answer 7

yes because it says that parental guidance is Suggested,so an 11 or 12 year old CAN see a pg-13 movie.

Answer 8

With your parents permission, yes.
